Ooo, I would be fine with that too My kids are too old for a yard now
so we don't need one, although I do have Jasmine's trampoline and swing
set in the small one we have. I am surprised the mortgage company
approved the loan with the house not up to code. They need to know they
can get their money of you default. Being a home owner has been
instilled into a lot of people by parents etc and is not necessarily the
right thing for some people.
